Challenges in Motor Vehicle Safety [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Public Health, 2002
▪ Abstract  Reductions in motor vehicle injury and death represent a major public health success. Since the advent of the federal program in highway safety in 1966, motor vehicle deaths have dropped dramatically, not only in rates per miles driven but also in absolute numbers.

Evaluation of a momentum based impact model in frontal car collisions for the prospective assessment of ADAS

open access: yesEuropean Transport Research Review, 2019
Motivation The advent of active safety systems calls for the development of appropriate testing methods that are able to assess their capabilities to avoid accidents or lower impact speeds and thus, to mitigate the injury severity.

Testing of human reactions during braking manoeuvres combining a physical test bed with virtual reality

open access: yesFrontiers in Future Transportation, 2022
For the development of restraint systems, the initial posture and kinematics of the occupants immediately before the crash are essential. To predict the behaviour of vehicle occupants in pre-crash manoeuvres, volunteer tests under controlled boundary ...

Driving Environment Uncertainty-Aware Motion Planning for Autonomous Vehicles

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022
Autonomous vehicles require safe motion planning in uncertain environments, which are largely caused by surrounding vehicles. In this paper, a driving environment uncertainty-aware motion planning framework is proposed to lower the risk of position ...

Rollover Prevention and Motion Planning for an Intelligent Heavy Truck

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2021
It is very necessary for an intelligent heavy truck to have the ability to prevent rollover independently. However, it was rarely considered in intelligent vehicle motion planning. To improve rollover stability, a motion planning strategy with autonomous

The development of an automatic method of safety monitoring at Pelican Crossings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper reports on the development of a method for automatic monitoring of safety at Pelican crossings. Historically, safety monitoring has typically been carried out using accident data, though given the rarity of such events it is difficult to ...

Enhancement of Vehicle Safety and Improving Vehicle Yaw Behaviour Due to Offset Collisions Using Vehicle Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This study aims to optimise Vehicle Dynamic Control Systems (VDCS) in offset impact for vehicle collision mitigation. A proposed unique 3-D full-car mathematical model is developed and solved numerically to carry out this analysis. In this model, vehicle
